I make what I call Cornbread Supper

Brown a pound of sausage
Chop 1 onion
Grate half a pound of cheese (or more)
Jalapenos to taste, or none

Make batch and a half of cornbread batter

DEEP skillet, heated with oil in bottom. Pour in just enough batter to cover the bottom. Add sausage, onion, jalapenos, cheese, top with remaining batter.

Bake at 350 for one hour, up to an hour and a half.
Cut in wedges and supper is ready.

You can put anything you want to in it, sometimes I add cream corn to the batter.

Huh... my standard cornbread recipe is:

Put one stick of salted butter into the cast iron skillet, put skillet in oven, turn on oven.

Mix equal parts of corn meal and corn masa. Toss in some baking powder. Add an egg or 2.

Take out the hot skillet, swirl the melted butter all around the pan, once well greased, pour the rest of the butter into the bowl.

Mix up what is in the bowl... decide if you are aiming for corn bread or spoon bread... and what needs to be tossed in
...

So... the water in the pickled jalapeño jar... jalapeño diced up, whole corn, cheese... whatever. For corn bread dressing I add stock and a bunch of sage.

Mix it up, pour it in the cast iron, cast iron in oven.

Cook until done.

Spoon bread takes way longer than corn bread.

Baymule, I made this for dinner tonight! (Although I must have written it down from somewhere else that you posted it, because you used the words “smokin’ hot” for heating the oil.🤣)

Since you said to put anything you want in it, I used:

Cut up spiral sliced ham I had in the freezer
Onions (frozen chopped)
1 head of fresh broccoli
Frozen shredded hash browns
Frozen corn
Frozen mushrooms thawed and sliced
Mozzarella cheese
Three-cheddar shredded cheese
Cornbread recipe from the back of Indian Head Corn Meal (except I used Bob’s Red Mill corn flour)
And I used smokin hot bacon grease in the bottom of the pan.

It is SO good!! I think I just found my new favorite way to use up leftover odds and ends. Or if I don’t know what I want to make, just take whatever I’ve got and put it in this. Yummy!! 😋
